AGENDA ITEM: Certification Regarding 2027 Property Tax Levy ITEM TYPE: Decision COMMENT: Cloud County Community College must substantiate its eligibility to receive specified state aid provided under Section 114(a) of 2026 House Bill 2513 for Community and Technical College Capital Outlay Aid and the Two-Year College Business/Industry and Apprenticeship Act, to be distributed within Fiscal Year 2027 by the Kansas Board of Regents. Receipt of the designated appropriations requires each community college to submit certification of eligibility to the Kansas Board of Regents. The President and the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees must certify that the Board has not adopted and will not adopt a resolution that increases the 2027 tax levy rate on the taxable tangible property of the community college district. For purposes of this certification, Cloud County Community College is not increasing its mill levy rate for 2027 and, therefore, is eligible to provide the required certification. Cloud County Community College intends to maintain its existing mill levy rate of 29.019 mills. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Certification that Cloud County Community College has not adopted and will not adopt a resolution that increases the 2027 tax levy rate on the taxable tangible property of the community college district and authorize submission of the Certification to the Kansas Board of Regents. |

6. ITEM NO. 6
AGENDA ITEM: Authorization to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate ITEM TYPE: Decision COMMENT: Cloud County Community College receives a tax levy on the taxable tangible property from our district to finance a portion of the budget not financed by any other source provided by law. Based on the preliminary assessed valuation of $141,340,499 provided by the Cloud County Clerk, there will be an increase in revenue produced by property taxes. In accordance with SB 13, the College’s governing body (Board of Trustees) is required to approve a resolution to accept any increased amount of revenue produced by property taxes that exceeds the revenue neutral rate. College administration recommends preserving the operational mill levy at 25.086 mills and the capital outlay levy at 3.933 mills, allowing taxes to be levied at the same overall rate of 29.019 total, but higher than the revenue neutral rate of 27.698. We recommend approving resolution 2026-01 authorizing the college to exceed the RNR published rate. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Resolution 2026-01 authorizing CCCC to exceed the revenue neutral rate for 2026-2027. |
